I got out to my shooting area yesterday, and shot the Eddystone. I was happy with the results. I was on a improvised rest over the hood of my truck at 50 yds, just to see if it would even hit paper. I shot just one 3 shot group, and received a 1.25" group for my effort, I figure that means it will shoot better than that, and that is fine for me. My Springfield 03 MARK I, which I had never shot until yesterday, managed a group slightly bigger than that, and its barrel is in better shape than the Eddystone's. With practice, I know these guns will shoot better, as I am not use to the pull on these triggers, havent been shooting my military collection much. Anyway, I stated that I would let you know how it shot, and that was how it did, ok? Useful information for those of us that get barrels that look a little pitted and head space that isnt all that great. I still think the head space guages of today arent the same as the ones used when these guns were being made.

Saw your post that you left for me on the question I had on the scope mounts on my 93 mauser. I have another question. Do all bolts for 1893
mausers interchange? My bolt has a bent knob that has been bent to far
I saw a bolt on the auction that is for a 1893 cabine and I am not sure if they had a rifle and a carbine or just the carbine. I also saw on on ebay how much should a stripped bolt and a full bolt cost?
